Charitable organizations not all equal; AG’s office: Do your homework first

Charitable organizations not all equal; AG’s office: Do your homework first: "The AG’s office released its annual “worst charities” list Friday, a document that relies largely on an IRS filing called a 990. Every year, nonprofits are required to file a 990, detailing how much money the organization takes in, how it’s spent and how much directors and other key personnel are paid.

The 20 charities on the AG’s list, all of which are based outside of Oregon, are notable for their use of professional fundraising firms, which eat up much of the money contributed by donors."
